Re: freely rotating bumper and hitch

sure it can be got around if all the actuator does is push partially or pull partially to shake the trailer back and forth to make scoring only than much harder

OR

you can retract the trailer in some when making turns so when it fishtails, it doesnt throw the whole system into a slide (anyone who lived up north and tows in the winter knows what i am talking about)
